THE VIRGINIA COMMITTEE POSTPONE THE RICH- '
^MOND CONVENTION-THE MISSISSIPPI t OMMTT- 1
TEE VISIT GRANT-GRANT AND THE COLORED '
CONVENTION.
WASHINGTON, January 19.-The Virgin!?, com?
mittee have passed a resolution postponing -
the Richmond convention from February 10 to
Mar ch 17, for fear that Congress would not act '
in time to allow the people to consider the pro?
position and select delegates as early as < he dav
first appointed. The committee will remain in
full session during the present week. Yester?
day's interview with Grant loads the Virginians
to think that Grant is tbe most available friend
of the movement in Washington.
Tho Mississippi Committee visited Grant to?
day, requesting his aid in obtaining immediate
admission. G.int replied that the Reconstruc?
tion Committee had framed a bill in accord?
ance with their views, and expressed the hope
that these matters would be settled beforo the
commencement of his administration.
The committee from the Colored National
Convention called on Grant, who, replying to
the address, said: "I thank the convention of
which yon are the representatives for the con?
fidence they have expressed, and I hope sin?
cerely that the colored people of the nation
may veceive every protection which tho laws
give to them. They shall have my efforts to
secure such protection. Tbey should prove
by their acts, their advancement, prosperity,
and obedience to the laws, that they arc wor?
thy of tbe privileges the government has bes?
towed upon them, and by their future conduct
provo themselves deserving of all they now
claim."
Grant's interview with the Mississippi Radi?
cal delegation is vaiiously reported He ap?
pears to have expressed a desire for tho early
admission of Mississippi, and that Southern
constitutions should bo made to conform to
the Reconstruction acts; also said that bo would
enforce the laws. It is not known whether
Gran: alluded to Bingham's bili or to another
which tho committee is preparing. Bingham's
bill, in addition to thc points tolegiaphed last
night, provides that the Leeislatnres shall meet
within twenty days of tho passage of the act,
upon proclamation thereof by the Governor.
Ko person prohibited by the Fourteenth amend?
ment shall hold office until their political dis?
abilities are removed.
The Radical committee are in high spirits
to-day. i Carl Shurz has been elected from
Missouri, Fenton from New York, Hamlin
from Maine. Nine senators and ton members
of tho Indiana Legislature bolted the caucus
nomination for United States Senator.
The Senate, in executive session, only con?
firmed an Oregon postmaster. The balance of
the session was given to treaties, but there
?as no action.
S It is understood that the Senate Judiciary
Committee will report on Virginia affairs to
morrow. There is good reason to believe that
ihe report will be favorable to the wishes of
the Virginia Conference Committee.

THE SEA ISLANDS.
1 ho Profits of Sea Island Planters-Thc
Causes of Three Years' Pailu rc-Fortu?
nate Cotton Planters-Sea Islands will
Pay.
[FT.OJI A C0EBESPOSDEXT.]
CHARLESTON-, January 18, 1809.-lu submit?
ting thc enclosed estimates, I have faithfully
and carefully stated exponaos and probable
results.
1 have had foll experience in operating
with ' freo labor," and thc hko experience, and
great success in cultivating sea island cotton
beforo tho war. 1 raado in one season, ft\in
extra fine cotton, $112 to the acre, clear of a
penses. In another, I made one hundred and
fifty pounds round, of this cotton, to my whole
crop ot over eighty acres. This was previous
to the war, and hence the amounts are ex?
pressed in gold. Since the war, with free la?
bor aud sweeps, I have made of the same cot?
ton, in tho adverse season of ?C7, $100 per acre.
It will be seen that ray estimates take into
account ovcry contingency. It is fair to say,
howevor, that such soasous as those of '67 and
'68 have been unkuown on oui- coast in a pe?
riod of fifty years. They are beyond all calcu?
lation and proc?dent, being as destmctivo ns
an earthquake, without exciting tho sympathy
and indulgence lor tho unhappy victims which
an extraordinary convulsion of nature natu?
rally docs.
Wo have suffered moro fro a thc seasons than
tho caterpillar, the extraordinary Hood retard?
ing the crops in their growth so as to rendar
thc destruction of tho worm four-fold, besides
tho groat and serious injury arising from tho
jeasone alon;', which would have cut off thc
props one-half or more, if not a single worm
liad made its appearance. And tho wet sea?
sons have doubtless contributed much in pro
lacing tho caterpillar. I know that planters
savo high hopes excited by tho luxurious ap?
pearance of a late crop. This, in nearly all
:ases, is delusive-utterly so. Old planters
ased to Bay, in looking at a lato c; op of prom?
ise, ''it is a splendid crop; but it is late, and
ate crops always look double.'' Hence the
doa entertained of very fine crops in sorao
lections, just beforo thc appearance of tho cat
arpaau ar mc sca.-u.iJ olitvu- uocii our nia.a
rouble, we may, with reason, hope to escapo
rom these extraordinary visitations.
Now, what arc the facts ?
A friend and neighbor planted a half aero
?xtra cotton in the past season. The patch
vas manured with stable mauuro and "cooi
xisl," listed with the hoe, "banked" with the
loe, and attended in a thorough and hand
lome man nor according to tho best standard
>f slave labor. Not a bindo of grass was to be
leen throughout. The land was strong yel
ow soil, near to an arm of tho sea. The
natch escaped the caterpillar entirely, and, in
t fair season, should have made at least one
anndred and fifty pounds per acre. Yet the
field was but at tho rate of twenty-four pouuds
per acre. Thc same was tho case, to a niodi
aed degree, in a like patch of my own in 18G7.
Oa, the contrary in the season of I860-with
as only a fair one-I sent to market over sixty
pounds to the acre from a small field planted
'rom the 10th to the 16th of May. Thia field
?vas ravaged by the caterpillar before I had a
pod picked, and was gathered by day laborers
ivithout any one in chargo, business of more
pressing importance demanding my whole
lime. I presume, under thc circumstances, it
must have actually produced one hundred
pounds per acre, notwithstanding caterpillars.
In the same season of 1866 a planter in my
jommunity, thou?h his crop was Bwept by
;a ter pi liars, made over ono hundred and thir?
ty-three bales of three hundred pounds to
eighty hands. Another, undsr hko circum?
stances, made thirty-eight bales to twenty-fivo
hands. Another, forty bales to one hundred
ind twenty acres. Another, th ii ty bales to
ninety acres, and so on through tho com?
munty wherovor tho crop received anything
like reasonable attention. Why was it that
noney was lost ? The answer is plain. There
?vere cxtraord ?nary and exorbitant expenses to
neet in tho restoration of our ruinod homes
md wasted fields. Stock had to bo bought at
sxorbitant rates. Labor to be seduced into
vork by exorbitant wages. Everything to be
lone anew, and everything costing tour prices.
Lhe cia B of seed, which at that time could
done bc obtained, was inferior as well as un?
productive. Our planters necessarily began
atc and came to market lalo, with all this ext?
raordinary cost of production on their backs
ind to bo liquidated at once. They mot tho
florida planters as usual in market with as
rood, if not better, cotton than theirs, and a
:rop the very best that had ever bcon made
n Florida. The buy JIB kuow this advantage.
iud used it with a vengeance, running cottoa
lown from $1 40 per pound to forty ceata at
,hc lowest ligure.
Notwithstanding this, with tho average
price obtained, if the wages and cxpenscy
lad rated uo higher than those of the past
?oason. remunerative results would have been
reached. So that thc only practicable season
rujoyed since the return of our planton to the
??ast. had they escaped tho extraordinary cost
)f production, no longer existing, would liavo
ocen a decided EUCCOSS, notwithstanding cater?
pillar, and with a fair article of cotton would
aavo been successful with caterpillar and ex?
penses. So, too, if they had escaped caterpil?
lar, they would have reached success, not
ivithstauding tho high cost of production and
inferior quality of cotton.
I know what I state and can prove by thc fig
ares. My experience wan au ta mo in reposing
perfect confidence in tho statements I make.
The crop of I860 was followed by thc seasons
pf '67 and '68, on both of which years wo were
Hooded with rain and had no spring at all,
whilst the crops were ravaged by caterpillar.
To make cotton crops or any other under
?ircumstauces so utterly variant with all pre?
vious experience, was to moke oui' daily talc
Df brick without atraw.
It is easy to repeat the catchword that thei'e
never was money in long cotton: and to use tbe
ran1 phrase that it is "played ont." It is
hard to prove either one or tho other. I will
say this much in reply: that there have been
more fortunes made from long cotton than from
anything else in any equal area in the State, if |
not the South. In the early period of cotton
planting, we may mention among those who
accumulated large fortunes Captain William
Seabrook, John David JIurgeon, Captain Wil?
liam Popo, James Kirk, Edward Means, Samuel
Reid, Joseph EJin.cs, Sr. At a later period ws
have amongst those who made fortunes or
highly remunerative crops, Joseph J. Pope,
Joseph D. Edings, Kinsey Durden, Solomon
Legate, Ephraim Seabrook, Sr., John Town?
send, Jenkins Mikcil, William E. Baynard, Na?
thaniel Crowell, W. G. Raynard, John J. T.
Pope, Joseph Whaloy, Edward Wha.oy.Ephraira
Baynard, Sr., William Seabrook, Jr., Jenkins
Townsend, James Legare, Joseph Hazel, Cap?
tain Edward Barnwell, Thomas Fuller, William
Edings, Rev. Stephen Elliott, William Fripp.
John E. Fripp. Whilst some of these getitlc
mo.i were men of large wealth, reaching a mil?
lion, others, tboush not rich, were very and
habitually successful.
This state of things continued up to thc
very happening of thc war; sea island planting
being highly remunerative and lands improv?
ing in intrinsic and markot value, rating from
twenty dollars to ono hundred dollars per acre,
as on Edisto. The race of planters was not
deteriorating, for wo find among tho younger
representatives such men as Buriell Sanders,
of St. Bartholomew, who tnado seventy bush?
els of corn to tho awe and two to three bales
cotton to thc hand. Wo find on Edi&to such
men as Owens Edward, Fu'ler Edward and
Joeoph Seabrook, Theodore Becket, John Jen?
kins, Edward Baynard. In the vicinity. Jamos
LaRoche, Benj. Bailey. In St. Helena Pariah
we find William B. Means, William Cuthbert,
Stephen Elliott, Edward Means. In St. Luke'.
Joseph J. Stoney, Janies B. Seabrook, J.
C:owoll, M. J. Kirk, E. M. Seabrook, Jno. W.
R. Pope, who among others wero all planters
of great euc1"'-:-, and rapidly accumulating
fortunes, some of them being already men of
wealth.
James Island afforded thc distinguished
planters, W. B. Seabrook, Joseph Hinsteen.
Ephraim Clark.
St. John's Berkeley affords such names as
Peter Gaillard, Francis Peyro, Walter Peyrc
Willinm Sinclair, Thos. W. Porc'ucr, Samuel
Porch or, among others.
Thcro is a statement that long cotton plant?
ers were always in debt to their factors. Tho
answer is, they wero among tho soundost cus?
tomers. In sonic instances this indebtedness
meant extravagance in living, prevalent along
tho coast. In many it meant enterprise and
turiit. In many it was utterly untrue. In
comparatively few did it mean "going behind
hand." It was only necessary to pass through
the country just beforo tho war to soo the
most unmistakable indications of wealth and
prosperity. The people lived in aflluonce and
ologance, and but for tho war, from which they
suffered moro than any other part of tho coun?
try, they would now have boasted of tho finest
and most improved catates in tho South, with
millions to spiro, instead of bogging for a lit?
tle assistance to recuperate their brokon for?
tunes.

Claimants have yet to.Prove.
[FB01I OTJH SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]
WASHINGTON, January 16.-A. recent article
in THE NEWS censures, in rather sweeping
terms, tho dilatory character of the proceed?
ings in the Court of Claims, and intimates, in
a manner more candi 1 than complimentary,
that the functionaries of that august tribunal
have shown themselves distinguished profi?
cients in the noble art of "How Not to Do lt."
A glanco at the record, however, proves that
whatever may have been tho shortcomings of
the court in respect to speedy action, Charles?
ton has scant cause of complaint on that acoro,
as compared with other cities.
In a report recently transmitted to Congress
by the chief dork of the Court of Claims I find
a statement of the judgments rendcrod dur?
ing tho year ending December 7, 1868, with
tho amounts involved, tho names ot the parties
in whose favor judgment was rendered, and a
brief synopsis of th o naturo of tho claims in
each case. In this hst Charleston figures very
prominently, the number of her successful
claims being nearly if not quite one-half of the
whole number allowed. Thcao claims, 1 am
told, have long since been pai 1. As tho parti?
culars in regard to these cases havo never
been published, I have transcribed tho uamss
of thc parties, with thc amount and di'te of |
judgment in each of thc Charleston cases. I
may add that tho dates given aro all included
io the year 1868, and that the subject matter
of all tho claims waa "cotton captured by
United States forces." The followiug is the

I have mado inquiry with regard to tho
cause of delay in tbs Charle-jtoti cases, which
are atiil pending. Tho hitch, it seems, is
owing to a new condition which Congress has
seen fit to interpose boiore the claimont can
hope to have bia claim allowed. A late enact?
ment contains a provision that thc applicant
for redress in a cotton case moat establish by
evidence not only his own undoubted ' loyal?
ty," but tbe fact that his residence within the
Confederate lines was "not voluntary." It ie
on this new point that the court ia now bear?
ing testimony. There is, of course, room for a
wide latitude of construction as to what would
or would not constitute "a voluntary resi?
dence " in the ey of ibo law ; but, as I heard a
shrewd old counsellor remark, " alter some of
the cases of ' loyalty ' that have been estab
1 e'iod, everything else will be comparatively
easy of proof"; and there ie a reasonaoie pros
peet that before many weeks all, or nearly all,
of the still unsatisfied claimants will be glad
dened with a favorable judgment, and speedily
thereafter hare tbe opportunity to pocket the
"denmition cash." R,
THIS YE Alt'S EEOBAEZE SXTPELY OF
COTTON.
[From Messrs. Fmith, Edwards A Co.'s Manchester
Circular.]
We will briefly glance at tho prospects of the
cotton trade for the coming year, and, for tho
sake of comparison, advert to the statistical
outturn of tho past year. From ir, it appears
th-it the total import into Great B: ilain was
3,CC0,000 bales, against 3,500.000 bales, or an
increase of 160,000 bales; bat as thia was duo
wholly to Brazil bales, wuich weigh about 150
pounds, tha real increase in quantity over the
previous year is trifling. 'Ihe deliveries to the
trade for tho year reach 2.802 000 bales, against
2,552.000 bales last year, being an increase of
250,000 bales; but this is also almost entirely
in Brazils, so that the real increase of consump?
tion is only equal in weight to about 100 OOO
American, or 2,000 bales per week. The export
Tor tho year ia 915,000 balo?, against 1,015,000
bales, or a decrease of 100.000 bales. Tho to?
tal deliveries of tho year lor trade and export
agttresatc 3,717,000 bales, against an import of
3,600,000 bales, causing a reduction of stock in
Liverpool and London of 57,000 ba!o3, aa com?
pared with the previous year; but wo believe
tho trade hold a somewhat larger supply at
their mills. It appears from the above that
supply and d maud have beon very nicely ad?
justed during the past year, and wo open tho
new year with vory BmaUrcacrvos ol stock, say
497,000 balea in tho two porte, as compared with
554.000 bales last year.
What aro thp prospects of supply far the
coming ye ir? Wo tum firat to America, and
fiud, as usual, considerable diversity of opin?
ion-catimates ranging from 2,500,000 to 2,750,
000 bales. We think the crop will be nearer
tho first than tho second of theso figures, and
lean towards 2,60o,000 bales, including all the
overland corrections. Lut wo believo that
American spinners will require 100 000 bales
more than the previous season, and therefore
we assumo that, praotically, thc same quantity
will be shipped to Europe as last year, but wu
believe a much larger proportion will go direct ]
to the continent, and so much the less to Eng?
land. This, however, is but a matter of socon- '?
dary importance, as oar export business will I
bo diminished in a corresponding ratio, and '
very little American cotton will bo sent from I
England to thc continent during the coming I
soiieon. We wou.d point out hero tho proba- <
biiity of a much larger amount of new cotton i
boing received at tho back end of this year '?
than of tho past one; for we expect the Bext
American crop will Do much larger than tho
present one. .
Witk regard to India wo have no reason te
anticipate any change of importance. Tho '
oio s at the Bombay side are believed to be 1
a beut as largo as tho previous year, and cur- :
rent prices will draw them rapidly to this ?
country.
Egypt and Turkey have made good crops,
and some increase on last year ia expected
perhaps 50.000 bales.
Brazil seems rapidly to increase its prodnc- '
lion, and a further large addition ia expected 1
this year-it seems not unreasonable to as- 1
sume an extra of 200,000 bains.
This general survey would indicato roughly
an additional supply of 250,000 small bales te
Europo, exclusivo of any extra quantity of the ,
next American crop. Thia, it must bo allow?
ed, is but a poor increase, and will only allow a '
small development m the consumption-say !
about 57,000 bales per wcok for Great Britain, '
and a comparative addition on the coutinent, '
and that increase only in email bales. It ap- 1
pears, therefore, that spinners have another '
anxious and perplexing year before them, and 1
have now room to anticipate low prices for the !
raw material. At the same time tho prospect :
beforo them is not one of famine, only of '
scarcity, and there aro various countervailing '
"..lu th?'lli?,Onir?iifhJv).v^^w tn hp Rfntfifl. .
tical position of the staple will probably ex- '
bibi t the opposite tendency to wkat it did last
year. During tho first quarter of 1868 the off- 1
take from this port reached tho enormous 1
amount of 80,000 halos per week, against an j
import of 66,000 bales per week, and this re- '
duced the stock (after allowing for corrections) 1
from 447,000 bales at the end of the year to 1
312,000 on 2d April; bat this year we do not 1
anticipate that tho offtake will exceed 65,000 .'
bales per weok, while tho import will probably 1
exceed last year, and may reach 75,009 bales
per week, and therefore our stock will proba- .
bly increase and may stand at 400,000 halos by
lal April. Fuither, one great cause of the ex?
citement in the spring of last year was tho ex- '
tremely small shipmonts from India appearing
on the water; but wo behove that tbe crop will
be exported more rapidly from India this year.
The price in Bombay is now250r., against
140r. last year, and the consequence is that the
new crop is n ow boing hurried down to port.
Last year at this time business in India waa
paralyzed; wo therefor o expect by the month
of April to see a much larger quantity of In?
dian cotton on tho. water than last year, and
altogether a considerably groater visible sup?
ply of cotton, and this cannot fail to have a
moderating effect upon prices.
But the most important consideration of all
?3 the chance or a large Amecrican crop next
season. We attach great weight to this point.
The planting community of the South is reap?
ing enormous profits from the present crop,
probably an average of at least eight cents or
Sd. per pound, for we beliove the present crop
does not cost on an average over 15 cents per
pound. Therefore, wo feel sure that they will
go into plantiug with ex'raordinary energy for
tho coming seaaon, and we believe the breadth
of land sown will be 25 to 50 per cent, larger
than last year. Tho knowledge of thia cannot
fail to iufluoncc our market aome months hence,
and it will havo a deterring effect upon mer?
chants m Manchester who ship to distant mar?
kets. We pronounco no opinion as to tho pos?
sible yield ol tho next crop; that will depend
mainly upon the available amount of labor, but
wo may bo sure that every effort will bo niado
to grow the largest amount of cotton, and
ahould tho season prove fine wo may safely
say that a hoavy increase is on the cards.
For these various reasons we conaider the
present price of cotton quite high enough, aud
ive do not see much ground for anticipating
an upward tendency of pi ices in the spring
months. Nor, on the other hand, do we see
much room for decline, and a rango of 10J. to
lld. for American cotton seems to bo faicty
justified. Of coarse, if the American crop falls
stiort of tho figure we have named, tho posi?
tion is stronger, pro tanto; and if it exceeds
it, vice, versa; supply ?md demand are too
nieely balanced to allow of any di s turbin co
without u sharp effect on puces.
lu conclusion, wu would remark on tho dif?
ference in tho relative position of American
and Indian cotton. If thc former d?chues ?d.
to ld. in thc spring months, Surat cotton
should still hold its ground, for thc stock will
bo almost exhausted beforo the new crop ar?
rives; but it American cotton maintains pro
scut prices, S-rat must creep upwards $J. to
ld. per pound, for tho needful readjustment of
consumption will not take plaoa without this
readjust munt of tho rolativc price. In all cot?
ton oper.i tiona for some time to como Swats
appear, theiefure, to bo thc safer article to
dual in.
A VFAIES IN OEOEOIA.
Thc Atlanta Era says of thc Georgia Legis?
lature: '.In selecting their aeata, tho members
of the Se?alo blended without respect to party.
Democrats and Republicans commingled with
a spirit of friendliness that argued a pleasant
state of a flairs.
A M.'inion missionary was in Columbus last
week, but c'earoJ out for want of funds.
buperintendaot Hurlbut has paid $25,000
into the treasury, the earnings cf the State
road for December.
lu Monrua County thc talk is that about one
third of tho cotton crop rf that county was m
the hands of planters on tho first day of Janu?
ary, and in some of the Georgia counties one
half was still m planter?' bauds. Thc general
average throughout Georgia was believed to bo
about a third.
In Columbus there are about ton thousand
people. Tho adjacent villages, which ought to
be embraced in tho corporation, as the resi?
dents derive their livelihood herc, will swell
the number tn fowtecn thousand. Thc negro
population has been decreased in the last
twelve months.
There is nothing now froti the Ogeechee
country. The troops still remain there, to pre?
serve order, and wa'ch for "prayor meetings."
None of the ringleaders of the trouble bave
been found, and it is reported tbat Solomon
Farley, tho great Mogul of the Oge?chee, is
hiding away in Savannah.
Letters have been received in Washington by
a Southwestern member ot Congress, detailing
outrages in the State of Tennessee, lt is said
that two loyal men were killed in Franklin
County on the day of the election, and another
taken from jail and 4mng in the courtyard.
Nobody knows who committed these acts. A
letter from Shelby vi ile, dated January ll, says
in a recent tight the Ku-Klux were badly whip?
ped, but they threaten to come a thousand
strong from Lincoln and Marshall Counties.
They were about thirty in number, mounted
on horseback. They drove to the public
square, blowing whistles and yelling like de?
mons. Th?y then moved down the Mat freos
boro' pike, and as they approached near Dun?
lap's they wore fired into, and six of them
Wfro wounded. Just after tho Ku-KInx ran
off, and during the excitement, a barn was set
on fire. Another letter says if tho Ku-KJux
organization shall not be puppressed loyal
men cannot live in Tennesseo, and the writer
adds: "If in this State, w:th a loyal element
and a Brownlow as Governor, you are not safe,
what would you look for in the other rebel
States ? We have no security for life or pro?
perty, and no exercise of liberty. These are
facts, and Congress must do something to
protect loyal citizens or thoy will be murdered
by the thousand."
A letter from Aspin Hill, Tennessee, says
there has scarcely been a night for six months
that tho Ku-Klux havo not gone somewhere in
the neighborhood and taken out and bung, or
shot, or whipped some ono, either white or
black, and have succeeded in causing such a
state of terror, that all the blacks and every
white Republican scarcely dare speak of them,
who say they always punish men for talking,
and the citizens ali wink at it fi om fear. But
the loyal men are armod, aud are, according
to these letters, determined to assert their
rightd. Letters have been received by other
membors of Congress, showing the fear exist?
ing in the Southwest from the Eu-Elux move?
ments, and appealing for a remedy to prevent
future disturbances.
A lotter has been received by tho Commis?
sioner of Internal Bovenue, from an officer of
the department ia Tullahoma County, Ten?
nessee, giving an account of outrages perpe?
trated up.>n revenue officers in that section for
I ertonning their duty. Ho states that a fow
nights since he was taken from his bed by a
party of masked desperadoes, who threatened
to blow his brains out if ho attempted to en?
force the revenue law. They then fired a num?
ber of shots at his house, but released him
after exacting a promise that he wonld not at?
tempt to enforce tho law. The matter has
beon referred to th? United States Attorney
af Tennessee, with instructions to request the
assistance of a military forco to aid the reve
oue officers to perform their duty.
A ROTHSCHILD'S WEALTH.-The wealth lef
by the late Baron James de Rothschild is
something fabulous. It overpowers the ima?
gination. No sultan, cr caliph, or emperor,
real or fabled, approached him in the extent of
his opulence. Tho "wealth of Ormus or of
Ind" pales before it. Tho late baron made the
following disposition of his fortuno : He left
to bia wife, Betty, ?8,000,009, the Chateau Fer?
nere, whose art ealleries are estimated at
above ?8,000,000, and his house in the Bue Laf
0.1 te, at Paris; to bis second son, Gustavus, bo
pavo ?8,000,000; to his third son, Edmund,
?6,000,000; aud to his grandson, tho son of the
lato Solomon Rothschild, ?2,000,000. This is
pretty well in itself, but it does not exhaust
tho vast heaps left by the modern Croesus.
The largest plum has fallen to the lot of his
aldest son, Alphonsus, who comes in for a trifle
of ?20,000,000. This colossal fortune-and per?
haps those legacies do not exhaust the amount
-roaches the sum total of ?44,800,000. It
may give some idea of what this means to
mention that it would nearly pay the interest
m tho national debt for two years, and is con?
siderably more than half the income of Groat
Britain. Verily the deceased baron must, like
Midas, have possessed the faculty of turning
3 very thing he touched into gold.

about as wildly as any portion of Ihe audience.
Madame Patti was almost buried in the mass of
